When it comes to Thanksgiving dinner, we prefer eating more than we prefer cooking (and obviously cleaning up comes in dead last). So when we saw a new batch of ready-made side dish options at our local TJ’s, we jumped on the opportunity to shave some time off our Turkey Day prep.

The result? Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed this side dish. It was cheesy, creamy, and flavorful – and the potatoes were well cooked and evenly sliced.

This dish cooked up easily and had a slight crust – if we didn’t know any better, we would have thought these potatoes were homemade.

We partnered this potato dish with Corn Pudding, Carrot Souffle, Cauliflower Gratin, Cornbread Stuffing Mix, and Kettle Cooked Turkey Gravy. Definitely a Thanksgiving spread to remember!
